Grimm Returns with a New Season of Horror

I couldn’t wait for Grimm to return,
especially with last season’s cliff hanger where Nick (David Giuntoli) was
poisoned by the voodoo priest, Baron Samedi (Reg E Cathey) and thrown into a
coffin to be taken out of the country to Austria per order of Eric Renard
(James Frain), the corrupt half-brother of Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz).

This
season opened with Nick being loaded onto a private jet, while his friends the
zombies. No not the Walking Dead type of zombies, but people under the control
of Baron Samedi’s green spit. Yes the Baron is a monster and one of many that
Nick must fight having inherited the job from a long line of Grimms.

Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell),
Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) are busy fighting back the
people who were changed (at least mentally) by the Baron into a raving mindless
mob.

Luckily Rosalie concocted a large batch of anti- poison and is able to
save the box car full of “zombies”

But, when the Captain, Hank ( Russell
Hornsby), Monroe and Juliette finally figure out how Nick will be taken from
them, they’re too late to stop the jet, and off it goes into the wild blue
yonder. Baron Samedi is feeling pretty good with the successful kidnapping
until Nick breaks his way out of the coffin.

Nick doesn’t react the same way to
the Baron’s green spit and is able to ignore the Baron’s futile attempts at
mind control. They struggle and the plane crashes before it gets very far. The
show ends with Nick stumbling away from the crash site and into a biker bar,
where he proceeds to tear the place apart. By the time his friends reach the bar, Nick is
gone. While this is going on, Adalind, (Claire Coffee) is having her own problems with Stefania(Shohreh Aghadashloo) and Frau Pech (Mary McDonald-Lewis), but in the end, she gets her mojo back.

I don’t know if I can survive until
next Friday to find out what happens to Nick!!! I love this show, and as far as
I’m concerned, this is how you do a good supernatural cop show. Watch Grimm on
Friday nights at 9 p.m. on NBC followed by Dracula starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers
